It’s not every day you find a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar priced lower than a pair of AirPods Max—but here we are. For just $329.97 through June 1, you can pick up a grade-A refurbished Apple MacBook Pro 13″ Touch Bar (2017) and upgrade your work-from-anywhere setup without going broke.
Most of us don’t need the latest MacBook model with a chip named after a letter of the alphabet. If you want a sleek, lightweight powerhouse that can handle day-to-day tasks like light photo editing, Zoom calls, spreadsheets, email, writing, and web browsing without breaking a sweat, this machine is still more than up to the job.
This 13-inch MacBook Pro packs a 3.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz, 8GB of RAM, and a crisp Retina display that clocks in at 2560×1600 pixels with 500 nits of brightness. Translation? Everything looks gorgeous, and the computer runs fast. Add in the 512GB of flash storage and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, and you’re getting serious flexibility for plugging in displays, drives, or just charging up in record time.
And yes, this is the version with the Touch Bar and Touch ID, so you’ll get all the cool shortcuts and the secure Apple Pay logins that make using a Mac even smoother. It also has stereo speakers with surprisingly good range, a solid 720p FaceTime HD camera, and a full-size backlit keyboard that’s easy on the eyes in any lighting.
Don’t let the “refurbished” label scare you off. This MacBook Pro is in Grade A condition, meaning it’s in near-mint condition with very little, if any, visible wear. It’s been professionally tested, cleaned, and reboxed—ready to power your hustle, creative pursuits, or weekend streaming binges.
Whether you’re replacing an aging machine or finally making the leap to macOS, this refurbished MacBook Pro gives you everything you need—speed, storage, and a sleek Space Gray finish—for a fraction of what you’d pay new.
Get this MacBook Pro for just $329.97 (reg. $1,499) through June 1.
